Step 1
Faze out the fuzz.

Hit the beach looking like a real smoothie by removing any excess body hair with the Remington Body Hair Trimmer £24.99. Cordless, washable and featuring three different shaving combs, it’s convenient, fast and effective – wherever you use it. Or, for equally great results, try Hair No More Hair Removal Cream 180ml £12.95.

Step 2
Firm up.

Embarrassed by your love handles? Six pack buried under blubber? Then firm-up your midriff with Lab Series Ab Rescue Body Sculpting Gel 200ml £27.00. It won’t replace hard work in the gym, but its thermogenic toning formula will tighten skin around your mid-section making it look firmer and flatter.

Step 3
Be a bronze age man.

Pale and pasty is great for Goths, but doesn’t look so hot when all you’re wearing is board shorts. So give yourself some colour with Phytomer Creamy Self Tanning Gel 150ml £25.50. It’s easy to use and provides a great, natural-looking tan. For best results though, always exfoliate the skin first with a body scrub to remove any dead skin cells. We recommend Nickel Super Clean Body Scrub 250ml £15.

Step 4
Banish ‘bacne’.

Adult acne is on the rise, and men are especially prone to outbreaks on the back where skin tends to be oiler. Sweat from hot weather or exercise can also exacerbate the problem, so for a beach-perfect back cleanse with Murad Acne Body Wash 250ml £29.50. Containing fine-grained date seed powder, salicylic acid and triclosan to control body breakouts. And make sure you pack Murad Clarifying Body Spray £24.50.

A handy 360° spray it contains powerful antibacterial agents to prevent blemishes and works upside down for those hard to reach places

Step 5

Don’t forget your feet!

Get feet ship-shape for the sandal season by eliminating unsightly dry skin and cracked heels with L’Occitane Shea Butter Foot Cream 150ml, £16.00 and give them a little temporary colour by using a little tinted moisturiser like Biotherm Homme’s Power Bronze Tinted Moisturiser 40ml £20.00.
